NLC India Limited (NLCIL) formally transferred four electric vehicles to the Auroville Foundation on Saturday, marking a corporate social responsibility initiative aimed at enhancing eco‑friendly mobility within the township. The hand‑over was witnessed by Auroville Foundation secretary Jayanti S. Ravi, NLCIL director Suresh Chandra Suman, Rajya Sabha MP S. Selvaganabathy and V. Ananda Reddy, director of the Sri Aurobindo Centre for Advanced Research (SACAR).
The donation comprises four electric vehicles purchased at a total cost of ₹21 lakh. The vehicles are slated for use as internal transit options for both permanent residents of Auroville and its visiting guests, facilitating greener travel within the community’s boundaries in Tamil Nadu.
NLCIL’s CSR effort aligns with its broader sustainability commitments, while Auroville, an internationally recognised experimental township, continues to prioritize low‑carbon initiatives. The addition of electric transport is expected to reduce reliance on conventional fuel‑based vehicles, supporting the settlement’s goal of creating a self‑sustaining, environmentally responsible habitat for its diverse population.
